Tex Avery: Slap Happy Lion (1947) – Rewatch: Can a tiny mouse drive a king into a breakdown?

Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @brandonreactstv2   Slap Happy Lion is a frantic 7-minute Technicolor short from September 20, 1947, directed by Tex Avery and produced by Fred Quimby for. Narrated by a mouse voiced by Frank Graham, the cartoon hilariously chronicles the downfall of a mighty jungle lion who, after instilling terror in all creatures, meets his match in a fearless mouse. Through rapid‑fire sight gags—roars that detach the lion’s mane like a hula skirt, dentures flying, and the lion literally swallowing himself—the animation ramps to a saucy crescendo. It opens in a circus hospital ward, revealing the lion’s nervous breakdown, then flashes back to how the mouse’s “boo!” rendered the king into a twitchy, pill‑popping wreck in a wheelchair. #TexAvery #SlapHappyLion #CartoonReaction #FirstTimeWatching #1947 #MGMAnimation
